Translation Community

Our Haitian Creole (Kreyòl Ayisyen) translation community started after the first GiveOneGetOne program promised 10,000 XOs to Haiti in 2008. Mokurai, the first Localization Administrator for Kreyòl, recruited Haitians and others who know the language to localize Sugar software, and then turned the job over to them.

Since the earthquake, Haitian Americans have come together on a much larger scale to help Haitians now rearchitecting education for a new Haiti. We began in NYC and Boston Crisis Camps in January 2010, but all are welcome to join, recruit Creole speakers you know, advance long-term solutions around Education in Haiti, contact authors/publishers with open hearts, and start translating!

Books We Want (even if not yet fully licensed)

2010/02/02:EDT I have placed a spreadsheet in html format on line at
http://www.ngohaiti.com/relief/education/status.html
This spreadsheet shows a number of Creole titles (and some French) and their status as far as Copyright release, etc. I will be updating this on a regular basis as I have time to gather additional information. Updates and comments may be addressed to me at jrigdon@ngohaiti.com
==================
John & Geraldine should help expand this list very quickly...initial forays now underway include:

In support of the disaster relief efforts now going on in Haiti, Transparent Language Inc. has pushed a Free Haitian Creole version of Byki for iPhone to the Apple App store. Developed and released in record time, Byki Haitian Creole for iPhone is now available at no charge from the iTunes App Store to any iPhone or iPod Touch owner. Byki for iPhone Haitian Creole lets users quickly learn the most important words and phrases of the language, including native speaker pronunciation. Also, Byki for iPhone’s searchable Phrasebook feature should be of particular value to any iPhone or iPod Touch users deploying in the relief effort. It allows users to search in English or in Haitian Creole to quickly find meanings for words and phrases. see http://www.byki.com/fls/FLS.html "
